Flying into Rothera over the cloud blanketed peaks of Antarctica

The scaffold was buried under 2 metres of snow with 6 inches of ice holding it all in at the base.

overlooking our wonderful work.

A little bit about the area

Looking towards the wharf (frozen over!) towards Jenny Island.

The reason we are here. This needs to be a fully completed working building in 4 months!!!!

The best worksite view in the world???

Lets hope these keep going all season!!

Overlooking the runway

The main bay with broken sea ice due to a ship which called into dock.

Overlooking the base from the viewpoint

One of the many planes to be based here at Rothera.

In the foreground is the runway, to the right the ski ramp and to the left the bay, currently frozen with sea ice.

Looking towards the base at the bay beyond from Vals skifield.
